Small imperfections in your smile have a way of standing out, ruining your smile’s aesthetics. A chipped, stained, or misshapen tooth in your smile line can make your entire smile look less appealing. Cosmetic bonding from Dr. Garcia General & Cosmetic Dentistry is a quick and easy way to erase minor tooth flaws to give your smile a flawless appearance. Dr. Nicholas Garcia is your go-to cosmetic bonding dentist near me in the Baltimore, Maryland area.
Here are some common questions we’re often asked about this treatment:
What is dental bonding?
Bonding is a cosmetic dental treatment that uses tooth-colored resin material to conceal chips, cracks, gaps, and other imperfections in your teeth to improve your smile’s overall appearance.
What’s the procedure for dental bonding?
Bonding can be completed in five easy steps:
- Dr. Garcia will match the color of the resin material to the color of your teeth for a seamless appearance.
- We’ll prep your teeth by applying a special solution to help the resin material stick.
- We’ll spread the putty-like resin mixture over your flawed teeth and shape it accordingly.
- Once we’ve created an attractive look, we’ll harden the mixture in place using a special light.
- Lastly, we’ll reshape and polish your teeth to make your smile transformation complete.

What’s the recovery time for cosmetic teeth bonding?
There’s no downtime for bonding treatment. Once the resin mixture is cured, you can eat, drink, or return to your daily routine. You may experience temporary tooth sensitivity immediately after your treatment, so we recommend avoiding hot or cold foods and drinks.
How do I care for my teeth after bonding treatment?
Good home oral care and regular dental cleanings will keep your new smile looking its best over the years. As bonding can stain, you’ll need to be mindful of what you eat. We recommend limiting stain-causing foods and drinks to maintain your teeth’s white, bright appearance. Hard foods should also be avoided as they can damage your teeth, whether they’re bonded or not. A healthy diet that limits sugary foods and drinks will protect your teeth from cavities so you can enjoy your beautiful new smile long-term.
What imperfections can be fixed with bonding?
Bonding can be used to:
- Repair minor chips and cracks in your teeth
- Rebuild a broken tooth
- Close small tooth gaps
- Lengthen short teeth
- Fill out narrow teeth
- Cover stains and discolorations
- Make slightly crooked teeth appear straight and even
How long does cosmetic teeth bonding last?
With proper care, a bonding treatment can last 7-10 years before needing an upgrade.
Can bonding be reversed?
Yes, the procedure can be reversed. Dr. Edwards can remove the bonding material from your teeth if you decide to get veneers or try another cosmetic treatment in the future.
